			== Paste Bin Skype Leak ==
			How the Flat Earth mafia reacted to the data from the gyroscope is revealed from a skype chat that was leaked - excerpts below.

			"The FOG I have demonstrated can measure earth rotation rate. I've spun it on a 24 hour rotor and it can measure 15° per hour with ease. - '''[[Rick Zimmerman]]''' [17/08/2017 03:06:47]"

			I guess, like I said before, were only looking to effect the readings from the FOG in a 'passive' manner, rather than a 'brute force' method '''[[Richard Blades]]''' [10/09/2017 23:18:02]

			[12/09/2017 20:24:37] '''[[Richard Blades]]''': Mems and Mechanical gyros operate differently, they DONT use light...and in there I think is a clue

			[12/09/2017 20:56:38] '''[[Bob Knodel]]''': Good point Rick. I guarantee you though if we went public with our current findings, the claims that we debunked our own model would be rampant because we clearly detected rotation.

			[13/09/2017 00:16:58] '''[[Rick Zimmerman]]''': There would be zero yaw on a globe at the equator.
			The “earth rate” yaw formula for the globe:
			15 times (sine of latitude)= yaw "earth rate"
			15 times (sine of 40.8687) = 9.81° per hour. (Ashland, Ohio)
			...my one hour test was +7.394° (counter-clockwise rotation)
			With the gyro up-side down the unit measured -10.469° (clockwise) in one hour.
			So...we are measuring something close to expected globe rotation.
			15 degrees (yaw) per hour is only at the globe’s poles.

			[10/09/2017 23:16:49] '''GLOBEBUSTERS''': Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been around but I will now get active in the chat again. I talked to [[Chris Monk]] and [[Mike Cavanaugh]] about our little dielectric problem and they don't think we will be able to shield it. We were tossing some ideas around on how to proceed and I will elaborate on that shortly...

			"We already know that a 'huge' external Magnetic field messes it up quite nicely, but is too aggressive a move to use as an argument against the globe" completely eliminating the effect is a big ask. '''Richard Blades''' [10/09/2017 23:19:57]
